Solaris 11.4 introduced few new ZFS pool versions with interesting new features or enhancements:
# zpool upgrade -v
...
38 Xcopy with encryption
39 Resilver restart enhancements
40 New deduplication support
41 Asynchronous dataset destroy
42 Reguid: ability to change the pool guid
43 RAID-Z improvements and cloud device support
44 Device removal
...
The RAID-Z improvements mean that data is written more efficiently - in some cases it can now store more data in a pool than before. But even more importantly the performance (both throughput and IOPS) of RAIDZ is now close to RAID10!
What is "cloud device support"?
